Thought Experiments

Thought Experiments are a method of discerning truths by changing conditions temporarily to guage ones thoughts without particular limits. Try it out!

1000 Years experiment - If you found out with todays ever increasing technological improvements that the life span could be extended to 1000 years what activity would you start doing now knowing that you would be able to getting really amazing at it in that much time? Note this might actually be possible.. So think hard.

Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrance -This thought experiment is that if a demon came to you during the darkest worst night of your life and told you that you were "cursed" to live your life (birth to death) over and over again for eternity would you be okay with it? Nietzsche claimed that an Uberman (man's next evolution) would says Yes! to this demon, for the Uberman is living his life fully. He has developed his will, transcended the traditions of society and is ready to make his own. In my opinion the value of this experiment is to gauge if you are living life to the fullest.

Brian Tracy's Magic Wand Technique -This thought experiment supposes if you had a magic wand what would you change? You could basicly change people, skills, time, money. I recommend two versions, one with the wand can only do things that would be possible to actually have, like you would not be able to teleport for example. The other version would allow for things of that nature. If you want to try this for real then check out Lucid Dreaming.

Brian Tracy's 10 / 10 experiment - If you had 10 million dollers and only 10 years to live how would you spend your time? This frees you of financial limitations and fear.

Ring of Invisibility - If you had a ring that would make you go invisible what would you do? This gauges your morals.
